Migration From Other Enterprise Search Systems

Google Search Appliance (GSA) / Google Mini

Fess provides a Google Search Appliance (GSA) compatible API. To enable this API, set web.api.gsa=true to system.properties. This will enable an enpoint at <Fess Server Name>:8080/gsa. When a search query is sent to <Fess Server Name>:8080/gsa/?q=QUERY, a GSA compatible response will be returned

For the more details, see the implementation code in GsaApiManager.

Google Site Search (GSS) / Google Custom Search (GSE)

Fess Site Search provides scripts (see below) to help you migrate from GSS/CSE. Using the, you can replace existing GSS/CSE JavaScript codes with:

<script>
  (function() {
    var fess = document.createElement('script');
    fess.type = 'text/javascript';
    fess.async = true;
    fess.src = '//<Fess Server Name>/js/ss/fess-ss.min.js';
    fess.charset = 'utf-8';
    fess.setAttribute('id', 'fess-ss');
    fess.setAttribute('fess-url', '//<Server Name>/json');
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(fess, s);
  })();
</script>
<fess:search></fess:search>

An example of Fess Site Search in use is below:
